What about maple fingerboards? is it the same process?

can shellac be used on maple fingerboards? what results will it produce?

This is a pretty dumb question, but what should be used? Dye, translucent or opaque colours?

How do you get a Fender 3-colour sunburst?

That worked, Ray! Thanks! Turns out the body and neck were stuck together with finish.. well, its out now. thx again.

So how should i spray it on? with wet passes or kinda like 'dust' it on? also, how many layers should i have and sand up what grade?

Hmm... when i tyr to pull the neck off, it makes a kind of 'cracking' noise... any idea..??

What should i finish my maple neck and fingerboard with so that it has a 'wet' and shiny look while maintaining a smooth feel??

P.S. I just finished scalloping it..

I have a Fender copy and it has a bolt on neck. I tried removing the neck by simply unscrewing the screws but it won't come off.. its like its glued on or something... help pls....

so i pack the cavity first and not mix the material with the glue...?? hmm... what if the cavity is quite deep? do i do it in layers?

Superglue...?? isn't that stuff clear? aren't inlays supposed to be white/whitish..? also, is it possible to use clear epoxy/superglue and mix it with silver glitter to make an inlay?

can somebody pls give me the measurements (height and width) of an ESP F? Thx..

You're welcome... Now my turn.. does anybody have a template/ layout of an ESP F?? i've posted in several but so far no one has bothered to reply... pls help me out....

what type of epoxy is used for inlaying?

what about basswood?? would it need filling?

replies anyone...???

How about an ESP F?? Anyone have a layout of it? A basic outline (to scale) will do too..

i would, but i don't know how to do a solid colour burst... and i'm a little short on cash at the moment...

Quite irrelevant and unrelated to this topic, would a turquoise burst finish look nice?? Can anyone show a pic of such a finish pls...??

Not on Walnut, not.

You need WHITE woods (maple, etc.) to make anything in a blue-greeny family look its best.

I don't mean on walnut, i mean that colour in general with a white base coat.. how about a metallic turquoise burst...? if its possible...

does anyone have an ESP F template?

no replies....??

i don't know where to get an S or SZ, but i do know where to get a JS.. its almost the same as an S aside from the radius.. alternatively, you could use a regular RG and modify the horns to get the basic shape of an S.. anyway, heres a link to the JS..

wow! that guitar looks killer!

I thought the Ampegs had a great tone. I've played several plastic-bodied guitars that have come out in recent years, and they all sounded like junk. Thing was, a lot of them where no-name beaters or cheap eBay specials, and I'm sure the wood guitars coming out of those factories sounded just as awful. I have a feeling that that Ibanez sounds great as well. I don't know, I think there's more into it than just the body materials. Some of my favorite guitar sounds are old Danelectros (masonite) and Nationals (fibreglass).

i'm sure that the pickups play a vital role in the overall sound of a guitar.. but do them plastic bodied guitar sound REALLY bad or are they just 'not-so-good'..?
